Why use kits
Use kits for any combination of equipment you regularly rent together:- A Camera Kit with body, lens, batteries, charger, and case
- A Lighting Kit with key/fill/back lights, stands, and modifiers
- An Audio Kit with mics, recorder, cables, and case
- One line item on the quote instead of 8–10
- One price for the customer rather than itemized
- All components automatically reserved for the same dates
- Pick & Scan expands the kit so nothing gets forgotten
- Return inspection tracks each component’s condition individually
Creating a kit
1
Open the Inventory module
Switch to the Kits tab at the top.
2
Click 'New Kit'
A form opens.
3
Set the kit name
Bilingual name (English and Thai). What customers see on PDFs.
4
Set the kit rate and rate type
The total rate for the entire kit, and Daily/Weekly/Monthly. This replaces individual component rates when quoted.
5
Add components
Search inventory and add each item. Set quantity per kit (e.g., 2× battery).
6
Save
The kit becomes available in quotes and Pick & Scan.
Adding items to a kit
In the kit edit screen, the components panel shows each item you’ve added:
To add more components, click + Add Component, search inventory, and pick. To remove, click the X next to a row.
A kit must have at least one component to be saved.
Using kits in quotes
In the quote form, click + Add Line Item → Add Kit. Pick the kit. The line is added with:- Kit name as description
- Quantity (defaulting to 1)
- Kit rate
- Duration matching the quote dates
Kit scanning in jobs
At Pick & Scan time, the kit expands automatically. The crew sees:Kit availability
A kit is available if every component is available for the requested dates. If even one component is unavailable, the kit shows as unavailable, with a tooltip telling you which component is the bottleneck. This is why you sometimes need spare components — to keep kits available when one camera is in maintenance, you need a backup body that can complete the kit.Updating a kit
If you change a kit’s components or rate:- Future quotes use the new components and rate.
- Existing quotes keep the components and rate they had at quote time. You can refresh a quote manually if you want it to reflect the new kit.
- Active jobs are not affected — they continue with their original component list.
Archiving a kit
To retire a kit (you no longer rent that combination):- Open the kit.
- Click ••• → Archive Kit.
- The kit no longer appears in new quotes but remains visible in past quotes and jobs.
